Systems and methods for providing consistent chromatic adaptation to a workflow comprising a number of International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles is provided. In accordance with an exemplary method of the present invention, the profiles within the workflow that require chromatic adaptation are identified. A control profile, whose chromatic adaptation method will be applied to the other profiles identified as requiring chromatic adaptation, is also identified. The chromatic adaptation method of the control profile is determined. The color data of the each profile identified as requiring chromatic adaptation is then converted using the chromatic adaptation method of the control profile such that all profiles requiring chromatic adaptation have been chromatically adapted using the same method.
